NOVEL NEXT Chapter 900: Reaching the Peak Unawares
The first thing Fang Jie refined was the Divine Origin, not because it was useful, but because it was more difficult to refine.
It's just that as long as these things exist, the World Origin cannot exert its maximum effect.
Absorbing World Origin is the same before and after, without any impact. But Divine Origin is different; the stronger you are, the fewer benefits you get from absorbing it.
Even if the attributes differ, the benefits will weaken.
Fang Jie himself had no solution for this. In order to fully utilize this power and not waste it, he decided to spend some time absorbing and digesting it first.
According to Fang Jie's calculations, it would likely take two months to absorb this power.
This is because Fang Jie has become powerful, with the assistance of his Divine Domain. Otherwise, it would take much longer.
For a typical God, it might take even two years to fully utilize this power.
Fang Jie quickly refined and absorbed it while drastic changes were occurring outside. After some time of discussion, the Cabinet came up with a method, which was to use Faith Levels to determine power.
Faith Points can be used for trading, serving as currency, which allows Fang Jie to reclaim them conveniently.
However, this power cannot be used arbitrarily; each Faith Level has strict regulations.
For instance, one's status, the Divine Arts they can exchange for, their power level, or the size of their Territory—all have strict upper limits.
Once you reach the limits, if your Faith Level doesn't rise, having more Faith Points is useless.
Because you're not allowed to exchange for higher-level entities, the Faith Points can only be used as currency.
Of course, they can also be used to cultivate others, but Faith Points themselves are scarce. It's a unique currency, a system that never depreciates.
Although everyone can generate their own Faith Points, who would want to sell them?
Most people wish to collect more to enhance their own Strength; only those in need would sell some. This causes the price of Faith Points to remain high.
Some people are skilled in Trading, but trying to exchange everything for Faith Points at their current level is not easy.
With the operation of this system, the currency system of Faith Points finally begins to run.
Within the entire Divine Domain, everything has become bustling due to this reason, with rapid development everywhere.
Other Gods might not care, but Qin Lan certainly would not. This is the result of her hard work and is beneficial for the development of faith. As proven, interests indeed are the greatest driving force for creatures.
Many people are dedicating significant time, constantly praying and brainwashing themselves to gain more Faith Points and improve their Faith Level.
Some have even started specialized courses teaching how to enhance one's faith. To Qin Lan, this is essentially a brainwashing strategy, except they're brainwashing themselves, not others.
It's harder to brainwash oneself, but the benefits after the brainwashing here are greater.
Hopefully, they won't develop into fanatics.
Indeed, for this kind of development, the White Lotus Visualization Method plays a crucial role.
Before long, Qin Lan, inspired by the Elemental Law, broke through to a Demigod. Although the Elemental Law she realized was relatively chaotic, Qin Lan eventually organized it into a coherent path.
Qin Lan couldn't, like Fang Jie, directly acquire four Law Origins, but one was manageable.
Handling two was impossible; after all, she was already a Subordinate God. A Subordinate God is not allowed to bear two Laws unless they could do so before becoming a Subordinate God.
In this aspect, Qin Qing was rather slower. Despite being a combat genius, her insights fell short compared to Qin Lan.
Of course, this also relates to Qin Qing's constant campaigning, which left little time for contemplation.
Qin Lan becoming a Demigod didn't affect Fang Jie much. After two months of absorption, Fang Jie had finally refined all the Divine Origins.
Then, Fang Jie immersed himself in the thrill of advancement.
He absorbed his World Origin in one go and also consumed all his stored Origin.
By absorbing the World Origin, Fang Jie's Strength rose significantly. Upon completion, he checked his status panel to find his attributes had entirely changed.
Law Strength: 99
Faith Strength: 0
Divine Body: 9
Divine Speed: 9
Divine Soul: 9
Divine Power: 9000/9000
Divine Power Crystal: 0
"Unknowingly, my Strength has already reached its peak."
Fang Jie found that all his Basic Attributes and Law Strength were at the peak of a Weak God. He had hoped to break through by absorbing World Origin.
However, this bottleneck was unexpectedly hard. With little World Origin left, he couldn't break through, only grow somewhat stronger.
After this period, his ten Dead Soul Bone Dragons were finally nurtured completely.
Even in terms of Combat Power, among Weak Gods, he was probably one of the best. Of course, assuming there are no other monsters, Fang Jie felt this way.
Uncertain if there were other creatures, Fang Jie decided to remain low-key.
"To break through to Intermediate Divine Power, the Basic Attributes need to exceed the limit of 9, allowing one to bear the Law and break through. Once Basic Attributes break through, it's considered halfway to a Middle-Level God, and breaking Law Strength signifies becoming a Middle-Level God."
Fang Jie reflected, formulating a plan.
To continue advancing, the best approach is to find another world or have his subordinates gather more Origin Power. It doesn't seem to need much for him to have a chance to become a Middle-Level God.
"Not bad, not bad, even if I won't be the youngest Middle-Level God, I should still be quite young."
Fang Jie was satisfied with this; only power is eternal. The stronger he is, the safer he becomes. Upon reaching Middle-Level God status, he would stand on equal footing with the Cloud God.
